Why this made the card

  • The raw disagreement is +2.9 pts: our 42.0% against the market’s 39.1% with the juice removed
  • The edge survives the blend into the market: -3.7% expected value a unit at +154
  • It did not clear the stake floor after doubt: published as a No Play, graded, never staked

Published and graded, never staked.

Technical provenance

forecast bc8b3d74-1acb-4557-8074-d5797b9c58ac; draw 2e5c8d92-ee74-451a-b837-e22967368293

What can beat us

  • The market holds the other side at 60.9%; we are the disagreement, not the consensus
  • Break-even at +154 is 39.4%; our cushion past it is +2.7 pts
  • One round of golf settles it; eighteen holes of variance can erase an edge this size without the number being wrong

Edges this size lose often. The record, not any one pick, is the product.
